How long is the track in short-track speed skating?

Short-track speed skaters race around an indoor track that is about 111 meters (364 feet) long. It is approximately the same size as an ice hockey rink. The short-track speed skating program at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games consists of nine events: three individual races and one relay each in the men’s and women’s categories, with the individual events held over 500 meters, 1,000 meters, and 1,500 meters and four-person relays covering distances of 3,000 meters (women) and 5,000 meters (men). The ninth event is a mixed relay race with a distance of 2,000 meters.
